The Unitaid Plus Project looks forward to participating in the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH), from November 13th – 17th. We are proud to present poster presentations highlighting the innovations, strategies, and lessons learned generated by activity in project-supported countries: Benin, Cameroon, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, and Mozambique. We are also thrilled to co-host a symposium with the Perennial Malaria Chemoprevention (PMC) Community of Practice about moving towards consensus with PMC implementation and delivery across Africa based on insights from the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
